Fairby 1825 Mortgage


Summary
This is a mortgage dated 26 February 1825, where Francis Treadwell is borrowing £2,500 from William Hodsoll of Sevenoaks. William Hodsoll is a trustee for the will of James Bunce of Kemsing, which allows him to invest the money in securities to provide an income for James's widow.

Of the £2,500 most (£2,200) was paid to Thomas Taylor to pay off a mortgage dated 26 February 1810. The lender was originally John Alchin, but he assigned the loan to Thomas Taylor by a deed dated 15 December 1818. Francis was paying 5% interest on this loan. As well as this there was a previous deed from 1780 which had created an interest which needed to be postponed to this loan..

The mortgage contains covenants by Francis Treadwell that he has good title, will pay the mortgage and will insure Fairby House and other buildings.

The mortgage also records an exchange of lands made between Francis Treadwell and Joseph Devey on 9/10 August 1809. It also records the former names of some of the fields and the fact the farm was mostly arable. During this time fields were being merged, and the deed mentions two (Chalkham Field and Eight Acre Field) which had become one by 1844.
